The 2016 “Kalkofen” pours a golden color with maybe a slight sign of some gas? Obviously unintended. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of tropical fruit, petrol, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+(?) acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. There is so much squishy fruit that it seemed to trick the palate initially but with air, this started to show more acid. The finish is long. Drink now and through 2031…possibly longer considering the amount of youthful fruit present. Danke Tim! — 3 months ago

Deep lemon yellow in colour. Aromatics of apricot, fudge, confectionery and a touch of paraffin. On the palate a waxy unctuous texture with a fruit salad of flavours - medium plus intensity with low acidity. Fermented out to 13% alcohol and finishes dry. An excellent GG Riesling. Drinking at its peak and at the end of its drinking window according to some experts. Michael Schmidt is JRs German expert says 2013 to 2020. — 2 years ago

A dry German Riesling (13% ABV) - a top shelf GG. Aromatics of peach and mineral which translate to the palate. Also tropical fruit notes (pineapple) on the palate. Quite delicious. Medium minus acid. Could cellar for a couple more years if desired, but this is pretty much at its peak. The memorable aspect to this Riesling was the purity. Jancis’s German expert, Michael Schmidt gave this wine 19/20. Dry Riesling doesn’t get much better than this. — 3 months ago

Mid Lemon in colour. A 10 year old GG from the Rheinhessen - not a hint of TDN (Kerosene/Petrol notes in aged Riesling). Just been reading a research paper on TDN from the Australian Wine Research Institute. Definitely sunshine to the extent of sunburnt grapes is a big factor. Also a fact I wasn’t aware of that cork allows TDN to release more than with a screw cap. This GG had a cork, although personally I would prefer a screw cap particularly with a Riesling. This Wittmann showed peach and mineral - also white flowers ( Daisies, Barb thought). Enough acid to keep things lively and delicious - some herbs. Enough fruit richness and sweetness to almost convince you that it is off dry but it is actually 13% ABV. An excellent dry German Riesling worthy of the Grosses Gewachs classification. A very high score of 19/20 from Michael Schmidt. — 2 years ago
